Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes teaching concrete coping skills to manage strong emotions like anger and depressive symptoms; this helps people respond differently in stressful moments. Another approach targets patterns that maintain substance use or problematic behaviors, helping people identify triggers and build healthier routines.Choosing which techniques to use happens together. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps find the best fit for the person's needs and preferences rather than assuming one single method will work.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, shorter conversations, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and geographic limits.
